It doesn't bother me but it should bother you and others who follow the same logic. Why? I'd rather be mostly right, and getting righter, than eternally and unchangingly wrong.
Knowledge about our universe will probably always increase but what about the truth? Since it can't be known, who cares?
Portraying these theories as fact is hypocrisy Who is? Don't blame us because you can't tell the difference between tentativity and certainty.

This life is short, you better figure it out. Why?

Why? Because you only get one life unless you believe in reincarnation (make you sure you reincarnate into a rich family). Exodus 9:16"But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth." John 3:16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Because you only get one life unless you believe in reincarnation You don't seem to understand, so let me make it more clear: what makes you think that I'm interested in having a "purpose"?

You don't seem to understand, so let me make it more clear: what makes you think that I'm interested in having a "purpose"? Human nature, the longing for something this world cannot satisfy. I won't spurt Bible passages at you. How can someone live without a purpose for living? I'll change my question. What happens after you die?After you leave this life that you wished would have been longer? What then?

daaaaaBEAR asks:

quote: That's not changing the question, that's asking a new one. I don't know what will happen when I die, except that perhaps my survivors will be kind enough to hold a funeral. This is not something I waste time worrying about. Keep America Safe AND Free!

This is not something I waste time worrying about. Your right, it's probably not wise to worry about dying. But if you believe in heaven and hell/God and Satan then you better start to ponder where your going on Judgment Day. Of course one is obviously able to live just by living but what's the point? To merely exist?

daaaaaBEAR writes me:
quote: I don't.
quote: On one level this question is highly insulting because it carries with it the implication that to not believe as you do is to not find any purpose or meaning in life. I find plenty of purposes: enjoying myself chief among them. There's also the desire to help other people and do what I can to improve this world for those who come after me. I enjoy life and I don't need the promise of heaven or threat of hell to enhance that enjoyment. Keep America Safe AND Free!

How can someone live without a purpose for living? Think hard. Again, I'm under no obligation to address your failure of imagination.
I'll change my question. What happens after you die? Not on topic in this thread.

merely exist? What distinction are you making between "exist" and "merely exist"? lfen

Your book has that one right - we return to dust.

As I warned yesterday; closing for a few hours while participants figure out what the topic is.

However I will watch it a bit more closly for awhile.

The main reason why I see the Big Bang as a dud is because there's no scientific law that allows something to come from nothing. If there was nothing in the universe to begin with then how was their a natural beginning? It's impossible.
I think its funny how this colossal flaw is ignored while many theories that try to explain the Big Bang AFTER the fact that there was nothing in which to even commence the Big Bang. I also keep hearing that the "Big Bang" is more of an expansion. Why not change the name to the "Big Expansion". It would save a lot of petty arguments.
